wife, Veronica Gaskins, showed up at
the home and the two got into an
argument.

Mrs. Gaskins told police that Joe
Gaskins pushed her.

She is alleged to have taken a tire
iron and smashed out windows and
headlights in his vehicle.

No one was physically injured, and
neither person wanted to prosecute at
that time.

But, today a Newport News Police
spokesman confirmed that Mrs. Gaskins
came to a magistrate around three
o'clock this afternoon and swore out
the assault warrant.

Late this afternoon, police in Newport
News had not served the warrant, and no
hearing had been scheduled.

We talked Larry Brown, a spokesperson
for the city, and this was his response
to the allegation. >>
